The victim, whom Gerould declined to name, lived in the apartment where the shooting occurred.

Easton police have obtained a warrant for Mendez-Acevedo's arrest on one charge of attempted homicide and one charge of aggravated assault.

He's described as Hispanic, 5 feet 2 inches tall, 100 pounds, with short black hair and a neatly trimmed moustache. He was last seen wearing an all gray sweat suit and black sneakers.

Easton police say he should be considered armed and dangerous and if seen, residents should call 911. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Detective Darren Snyder at 610-250-6637 or anonymous tips can be called in at 610-250-6635.
